What do you think, can we pet our new friend?
Yay, that would be cool.
My comment Is almost copy-pasted, but its not.
I dont like that with any new feature we get a DLC with stuff that should be part of the new feature.
PS: I would like to be able to pet our new friend yes.
I had robot companions in Fallout 4 & they are easy to repair. They do take orders or commands. Sometimes you can add weapons or build them with their own weapons and easy to paint & upgrade. Nice to have I hope in Generation Zero !!
This makes me feel quite nostalgic 🥲
Oh my gosh … has it been three and a half years already? How time flies
Well… I guess the most important question is, can it get a stick if I throw one ?
Please devs make it so the homing turret doesn’t kill our friend…
Can we add PVG, missile launchers or homing turrets to our friend?
I don’t think we can add those. The companion has its own arsenal of weapons.
I has a sad now…
As long as it doesn’t bring us our flares, fireworks and handgrenades back…
Why not? Would be cool to attach unused weapons to a slot. These weapons, like at enemy machines, can be shot off (empties the slot) or it could run out of ammo.
So you would be forced to give him another weapon/stack of ammo.
In my eyes it would be welcome for those many weapons we find in the world or loot.

I am just concluding it has its own arsenal from Carni’s text in Discord: “The weapons you can equip it with are all free.”

It’s all speculation. I could be wrong.
The companion has behavior modules what kind of behavior would you want to see?
Fetching @Kimosabe_X’s stick, for instance.
Maybe it’s just
- agressive: automatically attacks all machines
- neutral: just for support purposes (as mule, recon or healing unit?)
- defensive: just shoots if you’re under attack

As long as it doesn’t bring us our flares, fireworks and handgrenades back…
God beware…

Hahaha errrrm… actually I’m not sooo sure if I really would want such a module… especially not if the above mentioned behaviour might apply…
Like:
“Here doggo… bring it back” *whistles * "come on doggo… " “Ahhh, what i fine boy you are… ehh… what the f…?” *boom *
One issue with this new feature is that now…people are going to say :
" we got a Runner companion, now i want a Hunter!"
and others will say
“We want a Tank companion!”
“I want a Lynx companion”

One issue
True, I have seen several such requests.
